Does anyone read these anyway?
you'll never believe who this is singing! (HINT-1969)
at least I was pleasantly surprised ^_^
in case you didn't get the point...
if you want to end the drug war then vote for Ron Paul because he wants to end the drug war too!
and a whole bunch of other things too, like put and end to the IRS and income tax, the patriot act, and the federal reserve.
just to name a few ^_^
and if you don't want to end the drug war (and all that other stuff) then you had better do some research because YOU JUST DON'T GET IT!
OUR COUNTRY is in TROUBLE and it's time for ACTION!
so DO something - ANYTHING!
NOW!!!
Ron Paul on Drugs
Republican Representative (TX-14)
The War on Drugs has abused Bill of Rights!
Paul adopted the Republican Liberty Caucus Position Statement:
As adopted by the General Membership of the Republican Liberty Caucus at its Biannual Meeting held December 8, 2000.
• WHEREAS libertarian Republicans believe in limited government, individual freedom and personal responsibility;
• WHEREAS we believe that government has no money nor power not derived from the consent of the people;
• WHEREAS we believe that people have the right to keep the fruits of their labor; and
• WHEREAS we believe in upholding the US Constitution as the supreme law of the land;
BE IT RESOLVED that the Republican Liberty Caucus endorses the following [among its] principles:
1. While recognizing the harm that drug abuse causes society, we also recognize that government drug policy has been ineffective and has led to frightening abuses of the Bill of Rights which could affect the personal freedom of any American. We, therefore, support alternatives to the War on Drugs.
2. Per the tenth amendment to the US Constitution, matters such as drugs should be handled at the state or personal level.
3. All laws which give license to violate the Bill of Rights should be repealed.

Ron Paul Rated "A" by VOTE-HEMP, indicating a pro-hemp voting record.
VOTE HEMP is a non-profit organization dedicated to the acceptance of and free market for Industrial Hemp. Industrial Hemp is non-psychoactive low THC varieties of the cannabis sativa plant. Currently, it is illegal for U.S. farmers to grow Industrial Hemp because it is improperly classified as a "drug" under the Controlled Substances Act. Since changes in law require shifts in thinking and this requires education in the facts, our primary goal is the education of legislators and regulators, farmers and businesses, students and other concerned citizens.
